Nativist Paranoia Over Swine Flu

Nothing the xenophobes do surprises me. These people are so filled with fear and hate, they are like children seeing demons in the dark. A perfect example is this excerpt from FOX. In it, commentators allege the swine flu is a terrorist plot using Mexican undocumented immigrants as the carriers of a biological weapon.

It would be pathetic if it werent so dangerous. Finding scapegoats for national ills has been the path to power for many despots. I hope the people of the US are savvy enough to see through this hateful paranoia.
